That automatically made me very uncomfortable.  So I spoke to him.  He commended me on a job well done, asked me how often I do the show, etc.  I was very uncomfortable.  I really don&#8217;t like discussing my blog, articles, and\/or radio show with <i>grown folks<\/i>.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>But it got worse.  Oh, yes it did.

My aunt bombarded me with questions.  I tried my darndest to dodge them like arrows.  What is the show about?  How do you do it?  What do you talk about?  Do people hear you?  So people call in?  So do people ask for your opinion?  Who do you do it with?  What radio station is it on?  It&#8217;s online?  What website is it on?  How does it get online?

I told her a <i>few people<\/i> call in from Maryland.  She doesn&#8217;t need to know that people call from America and other continents for that matter.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Well, there.
